      10. Bret Stephens doesn't either. When's the last time he offered an argument that someone else hadn't already made a week earlier?

      11. And the ones who *do* sometimes pull it off aren't always consistent. I liked Kristoff's dispatches from Bahrain during the Arab Spring. But how often does he operate on that level?

      12. A lot of Williamson's articles do meet one or more of those criteria. If the NYT wants to troll everyone & actually improve its page at the same time, it would give him Stephens' job.

      13. But that's what *I* want from opinion writing. And I hold a lot of minority views, so I take it for granted that I'll be constantly reading stuff I disagree with.

      14. Others have different expectations. That's what's clarifying about this recent trend of Center-Woke tweeters protesting because a writer has been hired somewhere. (And about some of the counterprotests too.)

      15. That trend is being construed in some quarters as a war on conservatives. But that's not really right. David Frum's job seems safe.

      16. And of the two people who actually lost jobs to these recent tempests, just one (Williamson) is a right-wing. The other—Quinn Norton—hails from the anarchist left.

      17. The depressing fact is that a lot of people only want to read stuff that doesn't veer very far from what they already agree with. Also depressing: The main alternative model is clickbait that puts more effort into finding a contrarian position than in justifying it.

      18. Most depressing of all: The world's most prominent op-ed platform employs Thomas Friedman.

      19. Anyway, I worked up a dream newspaper op-ed columnist schedule last week. Yes, I know the writers are all dead. Enjoy.https://twitter.com/notjessewalker/status/979578807425396736 …
